    Default Vz r8 clubby?

    Sorry all this will sound Noobish

    Was the VZ HSV R8 Clubsport released with a LS1 or an LS2 engine?

    Correct me if i am wrong but the HSV VZ's started production in 06 which was the LS2 (05-07) era?

    Cheers?

    Actualy for a year or so the VZ's came out with LS1 motors then later on they started putting LS2 motors in em

    They started production of the VZ's in mid '04 through to mid '06

    Wrong, ALL Z series hsv's come with the LS2. In the Commodore range MY06's had the L76 over the LS1

    You are wrong VZ HSV's came out in only LS2, VZ ss & so only did have LS1's at the start tho till the 6ltr L76 went in

    Yeah all VZ HSV had the LS2 that was the selling point for the HSV Z range. The VZ SS had LS1 till they soon nearing the end of the line had the L76 in them, which i'm pretty sure the L76 was the selling point for either the SSZ or the Thunders.

    IIRC the main motivation for the move to LS2 was the adoption of Euro III emissions standards. The LS1 didn't cut it any more.
